Legacy Giving
Leave a legacy of new tomorrows.
A gift in your will is a promise to the next generation of families in St. Albert — that the support you believe in will still be here, long after today.
Why a legacy gift
A gift that outlives you
For more than 45 years, Transitions has been here for people with developmental disabilities and their families — through every stage of life. A legacy gift lets you extend that care beyond your own lifetime.
It costs you nothing today, it doesn’t touch the money you live on now, and it can be any size. Every gift — large or small — helps build tomorrows for children and adults right here in our community.
The options
Ways to leave a gift
There’s more than one way to leave a legacy. Your lawyer or financial advisor can help you choose what fits — here are the most common.
A gift in your will
The simplest way to leave a legacy. Leave a set amount, a share, or whatever remains of your estate — and you can change it any time.
Life insurance
Name Transitions as a beneficiary of a policy, or give one you no longer need — a meaningful gift at a modest cost.
Registered funds
Naming Transitions as a beneficiary of an RRSP, RRIF or TFSA is simple — and can be one of the most tax-effective ways to give.
Gifts of securities
Donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds directly can eliminate the capital-gains tax you’d otherwise pay on them.
Let’s talk
No pressure, ever
Planning a legacy gift is personal, and there’s no rush and no obligation. Whether you’re just curious or you’ve already included us in your will, we’d love to hear from you — in complete confidence.
Do I have to decide anything now?
Not at all. You can explore quietly, take your time, and involve your family and advisors whenever you’re ready.
Can I change my mind later?
Always. A gift in your will is yours to adjust at any point in your life.
Do I need to tell you?
No — but if you have included us, we’d love to know, so we can thank you and keep you close to our work.
